Answer: there are three different methods of determining the age of a landform.

1 radiation measurement

2 stratigraphic superposition

3 the fossil record

by using these or a combination of these they determined that the earth is around 4.6 billion years old. and this is where the big bang theory comes into play.

To determine the relative age of different rocks, geologists start with the assumption that unless something has happened, in a sequence of sedimentary rock layers, the newer rock layers will be on top of older ones. This is called the Rule of Superposition. ... With absolute age dating, you get a real age in actual years

Onsider the following reaction at equilibrium:
11111nata11111 [884]

Explanation:

Any change in the equilibrium is studied on the basis of Le-Chatelier's principle.

This principle states that if there is any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize the effect.

For the given equation:

C(s)+H_2O(l)\leftrightharpoons CO(g)+H_2(g)

A. C is added to the reaction mixture.

If the concentration of reactant specie is increased , according to the Le-Chatlier's principle , the equilibrium will shift in the direction where decrease in concentration of reactant specie occurs. So, on increasing C ,equilibrium will shift in right direction.

B. H_2O is condensed and removed from the reaction mixture.

If the concentration of reactant specie is decreased , according to the Le-Chatlier's principle , the equilibrium will shift in the direction where increase in concentration of reactant specie occurs. So, on removing water vapor ,the equilibrium will shift in left direction.

C. CO is added to the reaction mixture.

If the concentration of product specie is increased , according to the Le-Chatlier's principle , the equilibrium will shift in the direction where decrease in concentration of product specie occurs. So, on increasing CO, the equilibrium will shift in left direction.

D. H_2 is removed from the reaction mixture.

If the concentration of product specie is decreased , according to the Le-Chatlier's principle , the equilibrium will shift in the direction where increase in concentration of product specie occurs. So, on removing hydrogen , the equilibrium will shift in right direction.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

The first energy level is closest to the nucleus. The second energy level is a little farther away than the first. ... The electrons in the energy level farthest from the nucleus are called valence electrons. Atoms in the same column (group) in the periodic table have the same number of valence electrons.

Explain how the mass of a single atom in an element (in amu), the mass of one mole of that element, and Avogadro’s number are re
Eva8 [605]

Answer: For 1 mole of a single atom it is equal to its molar mass. And a single atom, 1 mole is equal to the Avogadro's Number.

Explanation: The relationship can be expressed through the following:

1 mole = molar mass of an atom/ compound

1 atom x 1 mole / 6.022x10^23  atoms
